        UNAUDITED RESULTS SECOND QUARTER 1999 - YEAR-TO-DATE $364,000

Champaign, Illinois - Great American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ/GTPS), the holding
company for First Federal Savings Bank of Champaign-Urbana, reported earnings
of $364,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $155,000, or
29.9%, from the $519,000 reported for the same period in 1998.  Basic earnings
per share were $0.30 in 1999, compared to $0.35 in 1998, while fully diluted
earnings per share were $0.29 in 1999, compared to $0.33 in 1998.

Net interest income was $2,827,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to $2,942,000 for the first six months in 1998, a decrease of
$115,000 or 3.9%.  The provision for loan losses was $273,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and $78,000 for the same period in 1998.  The
increase was primarily due to an increase in the monthly provision due to a
commercial loan totaling $1.35 million becoming non-performing during the
fourth quarter of 1998.

Noninterest income totaled $782,000 in 1999, $163,000, or 26.3%, higher than
the $619,000 recorded for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  This increase
was due primarily to an increase in insurance sales commissions, which totaled
$341,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $220,000 for the
same period in 1998, generated by GTPS Insurance Agency which was formed in
September 1997.  Noninterest expense was $2,718,000 in 1999, $164,000, or
6.4%, higher than the $2,554,000 reported for the six months ended June 30,
1998.

Net income totaled $153,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, compared to
$275,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  Basic earnings per share for
the second quarter of 1999 were $0.12 in 1999, compared to $0.19 in 1998,
while fully diluted earnings per share were $0.12 in 1999, compared to $0.18
in 1998.

Total assets at June 30, 1999 were $154.6 million, a decrease of $2.6
million, or 1.7%, from total assets of $157.2 million at December 31, 1998.
